Chapter 12 - Ze’ev

She turned to Ze'ev almost immediately and threw a glare at him. What did he think he was doing. Just because she let him go last night for what he spouted out didn't mean she would today. Why was he placing his hand on her thigh. They weren't even married yet. No the stupid marriage wasn't going to work out because she wasn't going to get married to him. Just who the hell did he think he is.

"If you're going to be that rude to them at least don't walk out of them and eat the food they put on your table"he whispered, oh good Lord even his whispers were sexy. She was sure no one could hear what he just said because he whispered that so well. She shook her head to come back to her senses so she wouldn't get hypnotised by his extremely hot gruff voice

She pinched his fingers on her thigh so no one would notice before it was too late but his grip was so good she could even see his veins bulging out on the back of his palm.

She picked up her fork and stabbed her spaghetti with mixed feelings of him having those attractive fingers on her thigh. She didn't know if she hated it or liked it.

"That is no way to eat Myra" the queen scolded and Presley spoke with her mouth full

"I'm still eating, aren't I ?"

He smirked and caressed her thigh slowly before murmuring "Good girl" then immediately withdraw his hand from her thigh

She stilled and swallowed a huge lump on her throat before sipping a full glass of water ignoring the stares that the king and queen were throwing at her for embarrassing them at them at the table

"Oh and you haven't returned my shirt" he whispered again and she felt like she was gonna fold. Why was he speaking at the dining table. He was distracting her with that seductive voice of his.

"I will tell my maids to return it to you"she muttered trying her best not to stutter

"I would like for you to return it yourself" he replied putting the fork with spaghetti in it in his mouth. The peaceful and quiet lunch was disturbed by Presley's loud choking on her food, they offered her water and she immediately gulped it down while he was smiling in the middle of chewing his food. That was fun.

After lunch, Layla and belle convinced her that she needed fresh her and needed to walk around maybe that would refresh her memories and she agreed to it because she knew nowhere in the castle…she at least needed to be familiar with one or two things so here they were in the huge garden taking a stroll while they gushed about how prince Ze'ev and Aslan (ze'ev's elder brother)were so so good looking.

To be honest they wished for the princess to never recover her memories back because they were never this free and talkative with the princess but ever since she woke up she didn't give them any kind of aura for them to fear her. It was almost like she was treating them like they were equal, like they were good friends. They loved the feeling but they knew it wouldn't last long because the princess would be leaving for Nysa very soon

"Myra" She heard the queen call and she turned to reply but the queen beat her to it

"This is your lecturer…" belle and Layla bowed their heads for greeting and she smiled at them before turning to Presley

"She will guide you on your behaviour before you leave after your marriage"she added and Presley rolled her eyes. Hellen ran to the queen and whispered in her ears so the queen left instantly leaving Presley with her 'lecturer'

"My name is Ida, pleased to meet you your highness" Ida bowed her head respectfully and Presley nodded

"Same here" was her only reply

"We should begin your lesson now your highness"she did her best to sound like she wasn't forcing the lesson

"Now?" Presley snapped and she nodded, why so sudden

"Yes your highness, your wedding is in two days and her majesty strictly commanded to teach you the basic things before the wedding, I'm afraid we would have to start immediately" Ida explained and she sighed

That guardian angel!

"Fine let's get it over with" she finally spoke.

Time flew fast and it was already very late in the night. Presley groaned hard on her bed because of how frustrated she was, all she did all day was learn how to be a princess. She was so tired. How can learning how to be a princess be this difficult. She thought the only thing she had to do was speak like she was written in a Shakespeare novel. What was all this, that Ida just made her day or life even worse

'You frown too much your highness…as a princess learn to smile more to bring joy to your surroundings'

'A princess should always keep her elbows of the table while eating'

'A princess should always aim for perfection in every step'

'A princess inspires others to follow their hopes and dreams through pursuing her own'

She tugged on her her tightly as if trying to rip it off her scalp. why was Ida stupid voice ringing in her ears. She was a depressed loser, she had no dreams…well to die was her dream. She didn't care about manners when eating and she didn't like smiling at all. Why would she smile?, no good was happening in her life. There was nothing to smile for. Absolutely nothing

A knock jerked her from her thoughts and she immediately sat upright "come in"

A maid emerged from the door and bowed her head for greeting "the shirt has been dry cleaned your highness" she spoke before walking out. Presley scratched her hair to remember why she asked for the shirt to be dry cleaned then she snapped her fingers as the answer popped into her head

"Ze'ev"
